ABSTRACT

Head and neck odontogenic pulpar non treated infections can complicate a systemic compromised patient. Therefore, an effective and appropriate antibiotic treatment should be prescribed in order to eliminate the causal agent. A possible complication of the odontogenic infections are the orbitary infections, that could also cause cavernous sinus thrombosis and the patient´s death. A case of a two-years-old male patient was presented, apparently healthy, with a periorbitary growth of 9 days of evolution, previously treated without improvement. The dental Service Carried out the diagnosis of periorbitary abscess, secondary to a chronic dentoalveolar abscess. Antimicrobial therapy and dental treatment was established.
